What makes you smile?
My daughter’s innocence and her wisdom and some memories which are wonderful enough to remember.
What amused you the last time?
Aah, my daughter woke me up at 1:00 a.m. because she needs to use the toilet. I was amused with how I responded to her needs without hesitation. Right after the toilet she just went back to bed and hugged her pillow. I am always amused when we sing “Himig ng Pag-ibig” together. Oh, and of course, even if it’s a bit funny (or irritating), my daughter would demand my position when we go to sleep. She would say, “Mama, turn to me so I can hug you.” Or “Turn the other side so I can put my legs around you.” It’s just so funny.
Why do you dress like a man?
I don’t know exactly. I just started wanting to do so after I had my haircut last August 15. I feel like it’s safer to dress up this way, no wolves to watch out for. Hehehe. Besides, I only come out feminine when the man asks me to be.

On top of a hill overlooking a beautiful place like the beach. I would love to build my dream house in a quiet place so I can have serenity.

Circumstances that suddenly change my plans.
